According to the outlet, along with restitution and probation, prosecuting counsel requested to have Holmes sentenced to 15 years in prison. Though Holmes has been ordered to turn herself into custody on April 27, 2023, the former Silicon Valley CEO is expected to appeal her conviction. Speaking before her sentence, Holmes expressed regret over her failure to make Theranos as great as she wanted. “I’m so, so sorry. I gave everything I had to build our company and to save our company,” she said, per CNN. “I regret my failings with every cell in my body.”
